Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge

Nestled deep into the foothills of the Virunga mountain range, Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge offers the most luxurious cottages in the whole Parc National des Volcans (Volcanoes National Park) area.

With only 9 beautiful cottages, this is one of the most sought-after properties in the region. Each cottage is made from local stone and terracotta and finished to a high standard with clean interior design and a few bright Rwandan colours to make the rooms unique. Stylish ensuite bathrooms follow the terracotta theme while each cottage has their own fireplace to keep warm in the chilly evenings. 

Guests can drink their morning coffee in the cottages private sitting areas or on their outdoor verandas with views of the mighty volcanoes in the distance. Birdwatchers will also be rewarded with chances to spot some of the 600 species of bird flying around the mountainous region.

As well as the cottages and the incredible views over the property, Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge also has an ideal location. Around 3km from the National Park headquarters, treks through the rainforest to see the mighty mountain gorilla await visitors.

From treks to the gorillas and golden monkeys, to visiting local community projects and cultural excursions,  Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge has a range of interesting activities for guests.

There is also an on-site spa for soothing aching muscles after long treks. A beautiful property with an excellent location, the only downside to the Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge is that there are not more rooms - book early to secure your stunning cottage.
